Next Play · Schools

Your athletic department
finally has a media team.

The full outsourced athletic media department for high school programs — SID-level writing, game-day graphics, recruiting visibility, and monthly reporting. Every sport, one flat rate. Every college program has a media department. Almost no high school does. Your coaches post when they can, your stats vanish after the buzzer, and your sponsors get a logo and nothing more. Next Play is the department that fixes all of it — one team covering every sport, every week.

What's Included

Fourteen departments.
Every sport. Every week.

Ten full-service departments run behind your program all season. Four specialized add-ons are ready when you are. Tap any department to see what ships.

    A Real Fall Week · 7 Sports Live

    One week. Seven sports.
    Everything included.

    Football, volleyball, boys & girls soccer, tennis, golf, and cross country — a real in-season week. Pick a day to see everything that ships. Maize High School is our demonstration partner, not a paying client.

    Most programs never touch the athletic budget for this. A local business becomes your Official Media Partner, their name goes on everything we produce, and their sponsorship covers the cost. We build those materials as part of the engagement.

    Common Questions

    What athletic directors
    ask us first.

    No. We take the work off them. Coaches shouldn't be writing recaps at midnight and no athletic director has time to run six social accounts. You keep every approval — nothing publishes outside the workflow you set. We handle production; you keep control.

    Every sport, one flat rate — no per-sport pricing and no tiers to decode. Fall, winter, spring. Varsity through the levels you want covered. The week you can tap through above is a real in-season week with seven sports running at once.

    Most programs don't pay for this out of the athletic budget. A local business becomes the Official Media Partner of your program — their name goes on the graphics, recaps, and posts we produce all season, and their sponsorship covers the cost. We build the sponsor materials and handle the ROI reporting. You get the department; they get season-long visibility.

    Final score graphic within 10 minutes of the final whistle. Written recap within 2 hours. Those are commitments, not goals — and they're in writing. Everything else runs on a published monthly calendar so you always know what's coming and when.

    You designate one point of contact — usually a coach or your SID if you have one — and they text or submit finals. That's the whole lift on your end. We verify every name, number, and stat before anything publishes.

    No personally identifiable student information — grades, discipline, financials — is ever collected or published. Photo and video consent follows your existing media release policy; we don't create new consent requirements. Your school retains the right to remove any content at any time.

    Content is live within three weeks of signing and fully ramped by day 30. Week one is a kickoff call and asset collection. Week two we build your brand kit and content calendar. Week three your first content publishes.
